 that I has only one character on Linux and 2 on Windows).
 
 I also noticed that on Mono 2.0 profile the backspace is also 
 counted as a character while this works fine on the 1.0 profile. But

 fixed.

+why not? This code path does not get used on Windows afaik (it uses
+the WindowsConsoleDriver.cs code instead). Even if it were used on
+Windows, I'm not sure how it would be a problem... a \n always comes
+bundled with a \r preceeding it... and if it doesn't, then it means

+it should Just Work(tm). No?
